Learning the Japanese language requires daily practice. Can I keep it up until 2009's JLPT 2 test? Definitely.

About So Ka So Ka

This blog is now a tool for me to keep on track with my daily Japanese studies. I will occasionally post new vocabulary as I learn it, or maybe I will post Japanese diary entries. Who knows? This is the Internet--anything can happen.

It's about time I introduced you to the Kusa-kammuri, or "grass-crown", radical. This one's easy to remember. Kusa-kammuri is the top part (or "crown") of a kanji that looks like two blades of grass poking out of the ground. You can picture 著 as a person (者) with a grass crown on his head, something some authors surely engage in.

Other kanji with the grass crown: 草(grass), 薬(medicine), 花(flower), 若(young).
